y-4=-2x-6
y=-2x-2
slope m=-2

This says ( change in y ) / ( change in x ) = slope
The general form is
where = slope and
( x[1], y[1] ) is a point on the line, so
( -3,4 ) is on the line, and the slope is
-----------------
This is in slope-intercept form
check:
Does it go through (-3,4) ?
OK
here's the plot:
